Hi,
This is correct.
With the NavTech POI data there is a lot of duplicate points.
Particularly in BrailleNote GPS, I haven't found this in other products as
much, although it does exist.
I've learned to ignore it and just use the POI's that I think are relevant
to me.
For example if you find the NAB bank listed twice, just use the first one,
or in some cases, one listing could be an ATM and another could be the
actual bank entrance.
Happy to talk to you about this further...

Hi Kevin,
I'll show the steps I've been using, who knows it might be the way I'm
looking up stuff.
I chose an address in Moe that I know and wanted to see what else was
around.
Virtual mode
address lookup
region - southeast
city - Moe (latrobe)
address number 19
street name - moore
set to virtual & destination
read F category - all
press enter for nearest points
now if you scroll down the list you'll find everything is repeated
eventually with the different distances etc. It's really annoying.
I'm assuming that this procedure is the right way to look around a place for
POIs.

Can you provide the city name and some example of duplicatePOIs you saw?

I decided to check out the POIs in the next town as I want to go there and
check out the shops (I live in the country). I was really annoyed to find
that most of the POIs there (Navtech) are entered twice, all with slightly
different distances and in some cases even a different direction. There
aren't any User POIs in the town, they're all commercial.
I hate to think what awaits me when I look at the other nearby town as it's
really large and if the POIs are repeated and incorrect there too, it'll be
fun (not) for anyone trying to find their way.
